8 Easy Snack Mixes

When I made the monster munch a few weeks ago, I realized that it's just one of many snack mixes that I love. There's just something more exciting about getting a variety of tastes and textures in a handful instead of simply grabbing a bunch of chips or pretzels or M&Ms. Are you with me?Because they often make large batches and can be made ahead of time, I love to make a snack mix or two for parties. It's also the perfect snack to mix up and have on hand for Sunday afternoon football or Wednesday night Modern Family viewing. Below are a few of my favorites!

Autumn Snack Mix-Don't let the title fool you, this is good all year long! Cranberries, walnuts, and yogurt covered raisins are mixed with a sweetened mixture of Life cereal and oats.

Praline Party Mix-This is long overdue for a new picture, but this is the most famous of all snack mixes on my blog. Literally, my mom's famous for this stuff. Most recently she made enough to give as favors to over 200 people at my sister's wedding!

Tijuana Trash Snack Mix-This one packs a punch from the cayenne pepper and the tortilla chips are an unusual but perfect ingredient in this mix.
